Questions People Ask ChatGPT Regarding Their Romantic Relationships and What They Think About the Provided Answers: An Exploratory Study
摘要
In this study, we explored ChatGPT’s potential to provide advice on interpersonal relationship issues. Ten participants asked the AI chatbot questions to evaluate the perceived usefulness and applicability of its responses regarding their romantic relationships. Specific patterns were identified in the questions participants asked, allowing for a categorization of the most common day-to-day concerns young people face in their relationships today. Among these, jealousy, trust, and privacy issues were prominent, alongside questions related to intimacy, sexual issues, relationship maintenance, and emotional conflict. Empirical data were collected through semi-structured interviews, regarding the perceived usefulness of the responses chatGPT provided. The findings suggest that ChatGPT can offer valuable insights and advice on interrelational issues. However, participants noted that while ChatGPT can be a helpful resource when human interaction is unavailable, it is not sufficient to function independently or replace human connections. Overall, this study highlights both the potential as well as the inadequacy of ChatGPT in providing interpersonal relationship advice.
